N is for Neat

I had to mention the notion of being neat but with a twist. There IS a difference between being NEAT and being ORGANIZED! Think about it! They are not the same. You can be neat yet unorganized. You can be neatly Organized. You can neatly hide things and declutter shelves and closets and it wont be organized. "Where Did I put those scissors?" They could be neatly tucked away in any number of places. An organized person would have the scissors in a certain place where they always know where they are.

Being neat and tidy is always great! On some days its takes all of our strength to be neat let alone organized.  Being neat can lessen stress and promote happiness. Neat has a place within organization. Its helps the process and aids the big picture. You can start with being neat and move into being organized. You take those scissors you have neatly in a random drawer and now ASSIGN them a place to ALWAYS be stored. A place that YOU will remember and is easily accessible. I have mine in what I call a supply drawer next to my home office desk. The top drawer.
